            Note
          </h3>
          <p>
            If you have updated to a new release of texlive-source, biber and
            its perl dependencies are still in present in <code class=
            "filename">/usr</code> and do not need to be rebuilt. However,
            biblatex installs in <code class=
            "filename">/opt/texlive/2019</code> and does need to be
            reinstalled.
          </p>
          <p>
            This version of biber requires <span class=
            "application">perl-5.30</span> or later. If you are still using
            the 8.4 version of BLFS you may wish to build the 2.13 version:
            see the 8.4 book noting that biblatex-3.13 has been replaced by
            biblatex-3.13a upstream.
